Life as a Mom, A Homesteader, A Blogger and A Wife.

While I try to avoid carbs as much as possible pasta is one of my kids favorite meals. For some reason when I make pasta (specifically spaghetti) I tend to make enough for about 10 people instead of 4. So this means leftovers. While no one in my house minds this (except me) I can't bear plain spaghetti twice in one week. So we came up with a slight variation.

Spaghetti Casserole

When you have leftover spaghetti and sauce you will mix the sauce and noodles and store overnight.

This recipe works best with plenty of chunky veggies. If your sauce was thin go ahead and add some sauteed onion, peppers, garlic, mushrooms, or whatever else your family likes.

1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Coat a 13 x 9" pan with cooking spray.

Preheat oven to 350

Place pasta, sauce and veggies (pre-mixed) into pan. Top with parmesan then mozzarella.

Cover with tin foil.

Bake covered at 350 for 25 minutes, uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.

* Something about the baking process makes the leftover spaghetti taste even better the second time.

** And the weird kicker... my kiddo's take their spaghetti and put it into a taco shell. Anyone who has seen iCarly knows what this is all about!
